Over the years, Michael Jackson was become more well-known for his eccentricities than for his music.
However, if there was ever a time when his self-proclaimed ‘King of Pop’ status was justified, the Thriller era was it. Jackson’s 1982 album release ‘Thriller’ was one of the largest commercial successes …

On some levels it is probably difficult to admit it, but, looking back at this album, and comparing it to the albums that Radiohead afterwards, this album indeed comes off rather badly. I personally think that this album is quite weak. And it is my mature opinion, which is …

If I were a record company executive, I would definitely sign up Kenyan rock band Murfy’s Flaw. Three things make this band appealing to me. First of all, five out of six of the band members are female. Being female myself, I can only celebrate this fact since the …

It’s by Queen, so to that extent you think that it has to be a classic. It sounds good, Freddie leads it and it just sounds so passionate and inspired throughout.

Indescribable by Chris Tomlin is a song that sums it all up. Indescribable is just the word to describe what god is. He is hard to explain and in so many ways you can’t explain him that’s why I agree he is one hundred percent Indescribable. I like this …

I never got into Tupac. I actually find him to be pretty overrated and I was more of a Biggie fan myself. I haven’t heard much of his stuff, but overall it failed to impress me.
The exception to that rule is a track called “California …

By the late 80’s, GG Allin’s music has become obsessed with murder, necrophilia, sex, drugs, and et cetera anti-social themes. His voice has become a heavily distorted yell, making his vocals sound like a 60 year smoker yelling. The recording quality has decreased to the point that some songs …

Don’t Push is a song by Sublime and the fifth track to appear on their debut record 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a somewhat laidback feel, Don’t Push gradually builds up thanks to Nowell’s vocal performance throughout the track which features some harmonies and some multi-layered vocals …
